When you think of crochet, do you think of pot holders and tissue-box holders? Well, guess what - crochet has changed! Just open a fashion magazine and you'll see crocheted shawls, bikinis, capelets, shrugs, purses - yup, crochet is officially cool. And did you know that lots of people find crocheting easier than knitting? All you need is a hook and some yarn, and you're on your on your way!
Get Hooked is your ticket to whipping up the coolest, funkiest crocheted stuff around. Need a chunky scarf to snuggle into on a cold day? Check. Want a sushi-roll pillow to toss on your bed? Check. Itching for some wild fingerless gloves for your next night out? Check. There's a cute box to stash your bling in, funny monkey-head baubles to hang from your backpack, and even a miniskirt - yes, an entire miniskirt - all made from crochet. Simple lessons and clear photos show you everything you need to know, and the 15 projects will get you hooked in no time!
